EDITORS COMMENTS
This ceramic tile print depicts the Serpollet team's triumphant moment at the Coupe Rothschild automobile race in Nice, France, in 1903. The image, which is housed in the Michelin Building in Fulham Road, London, is a testament to the thrilling world of early 20th-century motor racing. The Coupe Rothschild was a significant event in the history of automobile racing, marking a turning point in the adoption of pneumatic, inflated tires filled with air and rubber. The Serpollet team's victory in this race was a milestone achievement, as their car was the first to use a steam-powered engine and a pneumatic tire system, which provided better traction, comfort, and speed on the rough roads. The tile print beautifully captures the sense of urgency, determination, and teamwork that characterized early motor racing. The drivers, dressed in their racing attire, are shown in a focused and intense pose, with their hands on the wheel and their eyes fixed on the road ahead. The tire, inflated with air and rubber, is prominently displayed, emphasizing the importance of this technological innovation in the world of motor sport. The Michelin Building, which houses this historical tile, is a fitting location for such an image. Michelin, a leading tire manufacturer, played a crucial role in the development and popularization of pneumatic tires. This tile print is a reminder of the rich history of motor racing and the role that innovation, determination, and teamwork have played in shaping this exciting and dynamic sport.
